In attempting to respond to current public concerns about nutrition when creating its health education program, the New American Plate, the American Institute for Cancer Research found it necessary to emphasize the importance of portion size. Justifiable concern about overweight and obesity and as yet unproved ideas about weight management were causing people to distort the shape of their diet. The focus of the new education program was reduction of cancer risk through a predominantly plant-based diet. To ensure a cancer-protective proportion of plant food to animal food, the American Institute for Cancer Research had to expound gradual reduction of portion size, accompanied by increased exercise as the primary means of weight management.

South American camelids (SACs), particularly llamas (Lama glama) and alpacas (Vicugna pacos) are gaining popularity in Europe. Initially valued for their fiber and land management capabilities, these animals are now also kept for animal therapy, outdoor activities, and as companion animals. Despite their close interactions with humans and other animals, there is limited research on the transmission of microbes or antimicrobial resistance genes from SACs.

Department of Biology, California State University, Northridge, Northridge, California, USA.

A major goal of evolutionary ecology is to understand the interaction between ecological differences and the functional morphology of organisms. Studies of this type are common among flying birds but less so in penguins. Penguins (Spheniscidae) are the most derived extant underwater flying birds using their wings for swimming and beak when foraging.

Objective: Soft tissue defects and postoperative wound healing complications related to calcaneus fractures may result in significant morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether percutaneous minimally invasive screw internal fixation (PMISIF) can change this situation in the treatment of calcaneal fractures, and aimed to explore the mechanical effects of different internal fixation methods on Sanders type III calcaneal fractures through finite element analysis.

Methods: This retrospective analysis focused on 83 patients with Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures from March 2017 to March 2022.
